Good Morning! Just to say I'm still trying to cope with a low-carb diet and I find reading your posts so helpful. I often feel overwhelmed. I have a fair amount of stress in my life and trying to watch my carb intake and monitor my blood sugar on top of everything else often feels like just too...

Hello again, I haven't posted here since sometime before the Covid lockdowns and I need to lose weight and get my blood sugar under control again. I was coping with low carb until the first lockdown when bread came back into my diet. Since then I have gained another stone in weight and I've...

Hello everyone, once am again I'm at my wits end trying to manage my T2 diabetes by diet. In 2017 I LCHF on around 50g carb a day. I lost almost 2 stones of weight and my HbA1c came back down to normal levels - success!!! However I felt dreadful on it. My hair fell out, I had no energy, brain...

Hi, I'm so fed up with trying to watch my diet. Two years ago I was diagnosed with T2 with an HbA1c of 48 and told to eat healthily and exercise. I managed to lose two stones and brought my HbA1c down to 39 in 18 months. Success!! But I felt like c**p following a LCHF diet, aiming for 50 g CHO a...

Hi, I'm looking for some support here to help me get my diet back on track. I was diagnosed T2 in Feb last year and went straight onto 800 cals a day for about a month and then went low carb. I lost just under 2 stones like this and my BS levels and HbA1c were normal. Hurrah!! Then before...

Hi everyone, Last Autumn my morning fasting blood sugar started to creep up from being in the normal levels (under 6.1) up into the pre-diabetic levels. I have been on LCHF (~ 50g CHO ) for almost a year since my diagnosis and have lost two stones in weight and had got my HbA1c down from 48 in...

Hi, I used to suffer with chronic urticaria but have been in remission and off antihistamines for three years. Over the last two weeks I've started to come out in wheals again and I've noticed that my fasting blood sugar has been creeping up in the mornings. Yesterday my fasting BS was 5.8...

Hi guys! When I was diagnosed T2 in February my HbA1c was 48mmol/mol which put me on the threshold of diabetes. After 3 months on a low-carb/keto diet it's down to 41 mmol/mol which I understand is 'normal'. I'm to continue with the diet and exercise and have another test in 6 months. I'm so...

Hello, I'm at week 9 of the DCUK low carb programme and wondering if I'll still be able to access the lessons and downloads after week 10. Thanks :)

Hi, I was told that my type 2 diabetes could be controlled by a healthy diet and regular exercise. I've lost weight on a LCHF diet but I've been slower in taking up exercise. The thought of having to go out walking or running, or going to the gym didn't appeal. Finally last weekend I committed...

Hi, I'm thinking about starting to monitor my blood glucose because I see lots of people writing here do this and get great results. My problem is deciding whether to 'go it alone' and test before and after meals, or whether to follow the testing program offered by this website which seems to...

Hi, I've trying to cut back on carbs since I was diagnosed almost three weeks ago and initially I lost about a pound a day. Since last week my weight has stabilised, due I think to my adding in one small avocado each day for breakfast. Yesterday I had cheddar cheese with salad for lunch, a...

Hi, just wanting to introduce myself to the group. Being told I was diabetic last week was quite a shock and I think I'm still trying to accept that it's true. I'm off to see my GP's practice nurse tomorrow for advice about my diet and goodness knows what else. I've been looking at this website...
